    I use the largest one too and also have a large rear but it fits just fine and is a fantastic piece of kit 2000 miles in one weekend was proof enough for me

    Medium here too. For a cheapie option, get some bubble wrap and fold it in half, bubble to bubble so you have 2 smooth outer edges, tape it down and... Voila! Budget air seat, not brilliant, but it works

    Beware getting them from the US - a work mate did this - UK customs catch you and charge you another 30 plus quid

    I got one from Bikebitz - hagged and got a nice discount !
    "Annie" - 1200 GSA 30 Anniversary Colours
    F800 GS in grey - yet to be named !

    Medium Cruiser for my Svelt A~~~e !!

    I bought from US supplier on ebay - ask them to send stipulated as "Gift" - this avoids duty (& "handling fee" which UK post office apply now when they have to collect duty payment !!)

    You might find it worth looking at a black sheepskin seat cover from lambland.....less than £10 when I bought mine online a couple of years ago. Very cheap, looks wild and is very comfortable.

    Re: Air Hawk seat

    I have the swedish(european?) version of Large.
    They actually rename the cushions here.

    Large in Sweden = Small Cruiser in US.
    Medium in Sweden = Medium Cruiser in US.
    Small in Sweden = Small Pillion in US.

    Mine is a bit longer than the others and shaped like the TA seat.
    You can move back and forth on the cushion.
